Ecclesiastes 5:1-2

1KeepH8104 thy footH7272 when thou goestH3212 to the houseH1004 of GodH430, and be more readyH7138 to hearH8085, than to giveH5414 the sacrificeH2077 of foolsH3684: for they considerH3045 not that they doH6213 evilH7451.

2Be not rashH926 with thy mouthH6310, and let not thine heartH3820 be hastyH4116 to utterH3318 any thingH1697 beforeH6440 GodH430: for GodH430 is in heavenH8064, and thou upon earthH776: therefore let thy wordsH1697 be fewH4592.1
